Duryodhana’s Post-Duel Lament and Instructions (भग्नसक्थस्य विलापः)
प्रविश्य नगरं वीरो रथघोषेण नादयन्,नगरमें प्रविष्ट होकर वीर श्रीकृष्ण अपने रथके गम्भीर घोषसे सम्पूर्ण दिशाओंको प्रतिध्वनित करने लगे। धृतराष्ट्रको उनके आगमनकी सूचना दी गयी और वे अपने उत्तम रथसे उतरकर मनमें दीनता न लाते हुए धृतराष्ट्रके महलमें गये
vaiśampāyana uvāca | praviśya nagaraṃ vīro rathaghoṣeṇa nādayan | dhṛtarāṣṭraṃ tasya āgamanasya sūcitaṃ babhūva | sa ca uttamāt rathāt avatīrya manasi dīnatāṃ na nidhāya dhṛtarāṣṭrasya prāsādaṃ jagāma |
Vaiśampāyana said: Entering the city, the heroic Kṛṣṇa made the quarters resound with the deep rumble of his chariot. Dhṛtarāṣṭra was informed of his arrival; and Kṛṣṇa, alighting from his excellent chariot, went to Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s palace without allowing any dejection to take hold in his mind—maintaining dignity and purpose even amid the ruin of war.
